15 Adorable Things Celeb Dads Have Said About Fatherhood

"You learn to value the basic beauty of family, of watching your children grow and evolve. It's the most beautiful thing you can experience."

"The thing I love about them is their joy, their exuberance. My boy will dance when he sees something he likes. We'll be walking down the street and he'll just start dancing and I'll be like, 'That's mulch.'"

"My greatest achievement is my family. What matters is being a good father and a good husband -- just being connected to family as much as possible."

"Communication with my daughter is so important. I always want to give my daughter a platform to talk to her dad and I want her to be able to do whatever she wants."

"The only way I can describe [being a dad] -- it sounds stupid, but -- at the end of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, you know how his heart grows like five times? Everything is full; it's just full all the time."

"I think [parenthood] brings out the child in all of us. That's what's so beautiful."

"I think I'm very good at being a dad. And I'm proud to say it, because as parents do, I worship my kids and I learn from my kids. It's the only thing I want to be good at in my life."

"[My son] calls me Dada. I think that's hilarious, mind-blowingly hilarious. Maybe not hilarious in the conventional sense of a Chris Rock joke, or a Louis C.K. TV show, but it's hilarious to me. I never thought that was going to happen and that it would be so intoxicating when it did."

"I never used to really kind of sort of get too wound up or worried about things. But now, the smallest little things, I can feel, you well up a little bit more and you get affected by the sort of things that happen around the world or whatever a lot more, I think, as a father, just because you realize how precious life is and it puts it all in perspective, the idea of not being around to see your children grow up."

"I've never slept less and dealt with more poop, and been so excited about it!"

"Three years ago, after this interview, I would've been on the train back to Paris to see the last of the shows to get that inspiration. Now, I'm on the first flight home to see my greatest inspiration, that's my daughter."

"[Fatherhood is] unbelievable. It's the greatest thing on earth. As soon as this child was born I immediately wanted to call my parents and just apologize because I never knew how much they loved me."

"I don't have to prepare to be wrapped around my daughter's finger. I have been wrapped around her little finger since the day she plopped out into this world."

"... I am good, fun dad who teeters on the edge of being embarrassing sometimes. As Malia put it, I'm right on the edge but I usually stay on the right side of the edge of being funny rather than totally humiliating to them."

"I didn't think it was going to be this fun. But everything just gets heightened when you have a baby. The volume gets turned up on life. I never knew I could be this happy, and that's the truth."
